SKYWARN is a program consisting of the National Weather Service's network of trained volunteer severe weather spotters.  SKYWARN members consist of private citizens, amateur radio operators, firefighters, law enforcement officials, and other goverenment officials.  SKYWARN volunteers support their local community and government by providing the National Weather Service with timely and accurate severe weather reports.  These reports, when integrated with modern National Weather Service technology, are used to issue timely and accurate warnings of impending dangerous and life threatening weather conditions.  In addition, SKYWARN spotters working with emergency management officials can help provide their communities with advance warning of impending hazardous weather.
